fix(ralph-wiggum): move multi-line bash from command to setup script (#16320)Browse files

Fixes #12170

The ralph-wiggum slash commands had multi-line bash scripts in their
```! blocks. Claude Code's security check blocks commands with
newlines to prevent command injection, causing the error:

  "Command contains newlines that could separate multiple commands"

Changes:

ralph-loop.md:
- Remove multi-line bash from code block
- Keep single-line call to setup script
- Keep scoped allowed-tools for security

cancel-ralph.md:
- Replace multi-line bash with step-by-step instructions
- Tighten allowed-tools to specific file paths

setup-ralph-loop.sh:
- Add completion promise display logic (moved from ralph-loop.md)
- Uses COMPLETION_PROMISE variable directly instead of reading from file
